Back when u were in School (Sou morne for chez les freres)Ecole La Menais that is, Will talk more next time. Keep it up now!!!
You are in a reasonably good position - though there will be lots of other factors that will play into the decision. Some good (reasonable) some are just idiosyncratic - and may be related to who knows what. But what is good is that the GAL and the therapist/counselor at the program are in your corner. They meet with the cps worker regularly and will pass along their opinion.
So it is important.
Some of the decision may depend on what's going on with your daughter (how she perceives your role). As I wrote, she may be angry (you don't need to feel bad about this - I know you do - but you are doing what you can NOW - that's important). And I'll give my 2cents about that.
If your daughter is angry - or disappointed, you should own that. Agree. But if you and s he have a relationship, don't take her anger on so much that you become wounded.
That's not helpful to her.
She needs to see/hear that people make mistakes, do the wrong thing, feel bad, learn from them, pick themselves up as best they can and move on.
That's the BEST lesson you can teach her. And that's just what she needs to learn, herself.
Happy birthday. I am aware its late but at least I've thought of you. My baby boy will be 17 all my babies are getting grown-up. Time is dragging us along and I often wonder if time will allow us to see each other again. Stay well. O.P.
